Fix issue after commit 50282: float texture painting non-color data textures did
not do correct partial updates, now it remembers if the opengl texture is a
non-color data texture or not and takes that into account for the update.

Also includes some renaming ncd => is_data for consistency with color space
terminology used elsewhere.

fix (own issue with recent addition) [#32966] wireframe shading doesn't work right with decimator unsubdivide mode

Bugfix #24343

Ancient 2.5 UI issue:

The button views in Property Editor have an internal storage, to ensure the view
on the buttons stays same when you switch contextes or select objects.

Bug was that - in case buttons were all scrolled invisible - sometimes no slider
was drawn to indicate that.

Discussion on whether this is a good feature or not: the only improvement would
be to store such settings even per object... but that's a feature creep I think.

Fix for cmake syntax error: LLVM_VERSION string was not configurable, causing linker errors for people not using the default LLVM version (3.0 on Linux, 3.1 on OSX).

UI: datablock selector widgets now show as a tooltip the datablock description
from RNA, instead of the less useful "Unique datablock ID name".

Camera: bring Title Safe display up to date, making it a Safe Areas option that
shows both title safe and action safe areas following more modern standards.

Patch #32822 by Harley Acheson, full description:

Our current "title safe" camera display option is anachronistic. It shows a
border of 10% on all edges, which used to be the recommended title safe area
for 4:3 content on standard definition CRT televisions. However we are very
unlikely to create new projects that output for SD TV at that aspect ratio.

This patch change the option to "safe areas" with and indicates the
"title safe" area (also known as "graphic safe") as well as the "action safe"
area. "Title Safe" is an area visible by all reasonably maintained sets, where
text was certain not to be cut off. "Action Safe" is a larger area that
represented where a "perfect" set (with high precision to allow less
overscanning) would cut the image off.

The current recommendation for Action Safe is 3.5% on all edges, which is the
maxiumum overscan for TVs now. The recommended title safe is now 5% vertically
and 10% horizontally for content that is of wider aspect ratio than 4:3. The
reason for the difference between horizontal versus vertical margin is because
wider content would be letterboxed on an older 4:3 television, giving it
additional margin.

Fix for strict compiler setup

UI: add hide/show menus item in header right click menu (same as +/- button).

Patch #32872 by Harley Acheson.

Better fix for #32837: DDS compressed textures now no longer need to be flipped
when saving, rather we flip the compressed texture during load. The code used
here comes from the chromium O3D project:
http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/o3d/core/cross/bitmap_dds.cc

Also made it only load compressed for power-of-two resolution images, it doesn't
seem to work for other resolutions, just falls back to non-compressed then.

Bugfix #28298

When I added DPI support in the UI, I added code that refreshes views for 2d
regions. These refreshes also happened on screen switches or file select, causing
header views (horizontal scrolled) to clear.

Now the code less intrusive, changing header views in fewer cases.

This is a patch provided by Anthony Edlin. Thanks dude!

Cycles: use simplier strategy in next_tile for viewport rendering

No need to find tile closest to rendered center in this case, just
return first possible tile. Saves some computation power.

fix for nasty bug with frame dropping playback.

When playback was running fast the frame step could be 0, making playback jittery.
this commit just makes sure the frame step is at least 1, but there is still an issue with framedrop skipping too many frames (or too few) which Ill check on next.

Usability improvement!

Duplicators and particles are now part of the selection code (mouse clicks).
Very annoying you couldn't select hair, particles or duplication systems.

Bugfix #32962

Menu buttons: the text label in a button was clipped on right too soon, there's
more space. Noticable especially on popup buttons with labels like "X" or "Y".

Audaspace:

OpenAL multichannel playback support fixed. This should fix bug [#31561] Audio only coming from Front Left in layout and bge.

Audaspace:

Fix for channel mapping bug. Now 7.1 channels should get mapped correctly.

Cleanup: remove old, commented code for constraints' space conversion for bones.

skip updating tessface customdata layers when joining meshes & clear tessface data on the target mesh so stale tessface data isnt used.

fix for build error in own commit with non gcc compilers. (and remove invalid comment)

bmesh todo: dont calculate normals in editmesh with modifiers applied, its assumed modifiers output correct normals at the moment.
